Yesterday my daughter passed her last school exam and now she can breathe freely. That's why last night she asked me to wake her up in the morning and take her for a walk.
Well, I wanted to go to the river with a spinning rod this morning, but for the sake of such an event, I was ready to reconsider my plans. In the morning, I still doubted that my daughter would wake up or change her mind about coming with me, but she easily woke up and went outside with me.
I immediately warned my daughter that the walk might not be very comfortable, because the grass had grown very tall due to heavy rains, and the grass was damp due to yesterday's rain.
I was soaked to the waist almost at the very beginning of our walk, but the most unpleasant thing was that water got into my boots through my pants. Since childhood, I have disliked walking in damp boots, but I have had such cases more than once in my life. But the walk itself covers this nuisance.

Because of the tall grass, I rejected my usual route and decided to follow the old road, and then I decided to show my daughter the beach. I used to visit this beach a lot, which we call "The Beach behind the Black Forest". But while my daughter and I were walking and talking, I realized that the last time I was on the beach was 7 years ago, when we celebrated my fiftieth birthday there. It seems to me that it was quite recently, but 7 years have already passed.
But where is the sand? I can't see the sand.

I offered to do a small photo shoot for my daughter. And, of course, our Nora was with us too.

My daughter told me that I also have to show myself to our family. Of course, our clothes are not very fancy, but their main task is to protect us from mosquitoes and damp grass.

The ruined frame. Somehow, the lens got fogged up.
Remembering the past, I told my daughter our story of getting to know this beach. I also told her that when I turned 25, we gathered here in a large company, and every 5 years we celebrated my birthday on this beach. This is the most beautiful and right place for a hot July day.

2 of my favorite girls. There's still a third girl missing. Guess who she is.

The length of the beach is about 700 meters or even more. I was walking and telling my daughter about this beach - how I fished in this place with my friends. They're all dead now. Of course, they were older than me, and they loved alcohol.
